BRITS have been warned that a seemingly innocent activity could have deadly consequences when they get behind the wheel.
The RAC said motorists could end up on the wrong side of the law while putting other road users at risk amid the “hidden epidemic.”
The insurance company explained that drivers are unknowingly putting themselves in danger by popping hayfever tablets.
Around 10 million Brits suffer from the condition and many rely on prescription pills to help subdue their symptoms.
But tablets used to treat hayfever can affect your vision, hearing and reaction times – meaning it isn’t safe for you to drive a car.
